' the cylinders 1 and Bare seated in grooves in the head l t and betweemthese seats are formed passagps for thb flow of fluid ressune into t e chamber 16 formed in the ead. The outlet from the reservoir l-is 'forined by, a tube 17 preferably integral control of the lubricating material flowing from the reservoir; .This head is also prolvided with a nipple through which the oil 'will flow into a chamber formed of a glass tube,20 having one endseated in suitable gIOOVGS'ID the nipple 17, and its'opposite end in corresponding grooves in a coup ing member 20 extending-from the head 21, which is provided with a branch 22 extending into "other mechanism, the combination of a a block 23 having a chamber 9A communicating with the branch 22, and also having a passage 25-fcr the flow of fluid underpressure from chamber 16. One end of this block is secured to the lower head of the reservoir and its opposite end adapted to be secured to the hose The oil-feeding pipe 5 has one end connected to the chamber 24, and its op osite end to the motor as heretofore state The reservoir 1 having been charged with lubricating material through the port 12, the valve 3 is slightly opened to permit a feeding pressure to enter the reservoir and force the oil out through the tube 17 past the valve 19 and down through the glass tube 29, whence it will flow y the branch 22 into the chamber 24 and along the tube 5 to the motor or other -mechanism. The rate of feed of the lubricating material can be regulated not onl. by the valve 3 but also by the valve 19. n order to insure a ieeding of the lubricating material to the motor without maintaining the pipe 5 of. lubricating material o. nip le 26 is inserted in the head 21 in linc'wit the branch 22, isaid nipple having. E I valve connection 27 with the fluid pressure pipopreferably' adjacent to the nipple 9 where a connection is made with thepressure enerator sot-hat the blast of air entering t rough; this nip ple 26 "willibe at :1 hi h stateof e'iiiciencyi.

By the one of this blast bfair the lubricating material may be fed in drops or in larger quantities if desired to the motor or'other' mechanism, and whatever air passesfalongthe lubricating tube 'll be util zed m o crating the motoras the connection of t e lubricating tube to the motor is through the inlet port of the latter or in cooling the part against which the fluid is directed. By cansin the oil to pass through a transparent tu e the operator, can readily determine whether or not lubricating material is. being pro erly fed to the motor. As will be readily un erstood by those skilled in the art, the

lubricating tube being of much smaller size combination ofa motor'or 'othervmech a flexibleconnection adapted to conduct a- -be lubricate ing material, ail-flexible tubee connecting the 11 1' or shell adapted to be a flexible tube adapted toconncct such ervoir with themotnr or other than" the air-transporting 'tube, it will not be subjected to such sharp bends as will pre- .vent a flowof oil.
